Klipspringer Lodge

Nestled between mountains to the rear and grasslands to the front at an altitude of 1200m above sea level, sits the scenic Klipspringer Lodge. Enjoy the wonderful views, flora and fauna of the South African Lowveld, while sitting and having a refreshing drink on our pool deck or in our vibrant bar. Each accommodation option features a private bathroom and contains amenities such as a TV with selected DStv channels, a wardrobe/closet, coffee- and tea-making facilities, a private entrance, and towels and linen. Free limited Wi-Fi access is available in all public areas. The restaurant offers an à la carte menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also have a large conference centre that can accommodate 50 people, with an overhead projector and microphone system. Take a leisure stroll and observe the giraffe, zebra, Blue wildebeest, blesbok, impalas, numerous small mammals and our great variety of bird species. Or for the more adventurous a hike up the bushy mountain slopes can reveal the more elusive nyalas, kudu’s, bushbuck, duikers and klipspringers.

As the largest reserve in South Africa, it covers 19 480 km² and is home to a diverse population of wildlife, including the Big 5, birding Big 6, and more species of mammals than any other African game reserve.

Nelspruit, officially renamed Mbombela, is the capital of Mpumalanga and has something for everyone. Nature lovers will love an amble through the Lowveld Botanical Garden, which boasts a rare collection of over 650 plant species, the first man-made rain forest, and a tranquil pool where the Crocodile River meets the Nels River (which cascades down a waterfall in the west). The mountains surrounding Nelspruit have fantastic hiking trails for all levels of fitness. Nelspruit Nature Reserve offers several walks between one and six hours. Enjoy indigenous vegetation and a variety of birds and small antelope along the easy-going Green Heritage Hiking Trail; or discover interesting facts about Nelspruit's past along the Nelspruit Historical Walking Trail.
